Gender of the player relevant? yes Male yes Opposing team--female? yesTo distract them? no Did he want them to accept? no Way in which he did it relevant? yes Did he shout it out? no Raise a hand-made sign? no

The entire opposing team is female, whearas the Victoria team consists of both males and females, correct? Did this man think that his proposing would help his team win the game? Did his team win in the end? Was it rowing? soccer? cricket? rugby? volleyball? land-based? sea-based? Would it work if the entire opposing team was male, and it was a female Victoria team member who proposed? Stop play = he just stopped playing himself? or did he call for a time-out? Did he go up to each of the members and propose to them individually? Did the oposing team hear his marriage proposal? Did they see it?

Was it obvious to all the Victoria team members that he was proposing? to all the opposing team members? to all the spectators? If so, did they find his behaviour strange? Or did they see it as perfectly natural?

JJ, again

Was it obvious to all the Victoria team members that he was proposing? yes to all the opposing team members? yes to all the spectators? yesIf so, did they find his behaviour strange? a little Or did they see it as perfectly natural? almost

Was the proposal humourous? yes Or intended as a disctraction? noWas there something about the dress of the opposing girls which prompted this proposal? no Or something about the actions of the girls? no

Victoria team: 2 males and 1 female? 2 females and 1 male? relevant? Did he use any props? eg flowers, ring etc. Did the entire Victoria team play the entire opposing team at the same time, in the same game, or was it a sport like table tennis or bowling, where each player takes on another individually? So if he hadn't proposed, Victoria wouldn't have won? Exact words he said relevant? did he just say, "Will you marry me?" Did the opposing team members laugh? Were they offended? Did they answer him? Did they say yes? no? something else?

Pleb

Was some proposal to another person put up on the scoreboard, saying something to the effect of 'Victoria wants to marry you'? no Or some announcement over the speaker system? no

Was the propsal one of his points in his argument? Leading to one? An opener? A responce? Relevent which team was first?(If there is first, my school has/had no debate team, so I wouldn't know. Grrr...)

In the third round of the debating event at the 2006 NZ Uni games, Vic 3 were negating the moot 'That we should legalise polygamy' against Auckland 5. The third speaker on the Victoria team introduced his cost-benefit analysis by suggesting a world in which polygamy were readily practised.

And yes, it was me. Thanks for playing.
